Insights

Patterson-UTI posted mixed Q2 results with $1.2B revenue and $49M net loss amid cautious industry conditions and technology investments.

Patterson-UTI Energy delivered $1.2 billion in Q2 2025 revenue but recorded a net loss of $49 million, which included a $28 million non-cash impairment for Colombian operations. The $231 million in Adjusted EBITDA demonstrates underlying operational strength despite challenging market conditions. The company maintained its $0.08 per share quarterly dividend and repurchased $16 million in shares, reflecting commitment to shareholder returns despite industry headwinds.

The quarterly results reveal a nuanced picture across segments. Drilling Services generated $404 million in revenue with $149 million adjusted gross profit, operating 104 rigs with 9,465 U.S. operating days. Completion Services contributed $719 million in revenue with $100 million adjusted gross profit. Drilling Products added $88 million in revenue with an impressive $39 million adjusted gross profit, showcasing strong margins in this higher-value segment.

Management's outlook suggests a challenging third quarter with rig count expected to decline to mid-90s from the current 104. This anticipated reduction aligns with cautious customer spending amid oil market volatility. However, Patterson-UTI's $312 million backlog of term contracts provides some revenue visibility through mid-2026. The company has reduced its 2025 capital expenditure guidance to under $600 million, demonstrating capital discipline while continuing to invest in technology.

The company's strategic focus on technology differentiation through proprietary solutions like Cortex® Automation Platform, Vertex™ frac pump controls, and the EOS Completions Platform™ represents a pivot toward higher-margin digital services beyond traditional equipment rental. This transformation aims to insulate the company from commodity-like pricing in the core drilling and completion markets. Despite current headwinds, management expects accelerated free cash flow in H2 2025, potentially providing flexibility for increased shareholder returns.

HOUSTON, TX / ACCESS Newswire / July 23, 2025 / PATTERSON-UTI ENERGY, INC. (NASDAQ:PTEN) today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.

Management Commentary

"Our second quarter activity was in line with the market, and at the same time we see opportunities with our operational footprint, technology portfolio, and financial position to improve our market position in both drilling and completions," said Andy Hendricks, Chief Executive Officer. "As customer strategies increasingly emphasize technology-driven solutions that extend beyond just the capital equipment into automation and digital services, the investments we have made have positioned Patterson-UTI to deliver differentiated value. The growing collaboration among our Drilling Services, Drilling Products, and Completion Services teams, integrated through our PTEN Digital Performance Center, enhances our ability to financially outperform our peers. We remain focused on growing our digital and product portfolio to uniquely help our customers operate more safely and efficiently while also generating meaningful free cash flow for our investors."

"Oil market volatility increased in the second quarter, driven by evolving trade policies and OPEC+ signaling its desire to reclaim market share," continued Mr. Hendricks. "While current oil prices would typically support higher drilling and completions activity than we are seeing today, our customers have remained cautious as macroeconomic uncertainties persist. We believe if oil directed activity does not recover from current levels, we will likely see a larger negative impact on U.S. oil production than we have seen so far, which is encouraging for our longer-term outlook relative to current activity levels. In natural gas basins, activity improved slightly in the second quarter and has remained steady into the third quarter. We are having increased conversations around additional natural gas directed activity as we approach 2026, and we continue to see long-term upside to natural gas directed activity as U.S. producers look to satisfy both rising domestic demand and growing global demand for U.S. LNG."

"Our balance sheet remains a key strategic advantage, with low leverage and strong liquidity," said Andy Smith, Chief Financial Officer. "This gives us the flexibility to explore multiple capital allocation avenues to position the company to lead the industry over the long-term. We expect free cash flow will accelerate in the second half of 2025, and a disciplined approach to capital allocation should lead to higher returns and drive long-term value for our shareholders."

Drilling Services

During the second quarter, our Drilling Services segment revenue totaled $404 million. Drilling Services adjusted gross profit was $149 million during the quarter. Our U.S. Contract Drilling operating days totaled 9,465, with an average of 104 rigs working in the second quarter.

Activity in our U.S. Contract Drilling business during the second quarter largely tracked industry trends, with our Permian Basin rig count showing the largest change relative to the prior quarter. Our total rig count in natural gas basins in Appalachia and the Haynesville has increased slightly from the start of the second quarter. Within the remainder of our Drilling Services segment, our directional drilling revenue was higher, sequentially, driven by strong service and product quality, resulting in additional market penetration even on overall lower industry activity.

"Our U.S. Contract Drilling business had higher sequential revenue from drilling automation technologies," said Mr. Hendricks. "We are seeing growing demand for our proprietary products that enhance the drilling process, including our Cortex ® Automation Platform, which enables our advanced machine-learning auto driller application, and our cloud-based, REX ® early alert, field monitoring system. These products should help support a broader customer base as we continue to advance our use of artificial intelligence to improve our operations. Acceptance of these technologies increases the long-term sustainability of customer relationships, and we see a growing performance advantage with our highest performing rigs compared to other capital equipment in the market that lacks the technological capabilities of our digital suite of products."

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had term contracts for drilling rigs in the United States providing for future dayrate drilling revenue of approximately $312 million. Based on contracts currently in place, the Company expects an average of 48 rigs operating under term contracts during the third quarter of 2025 and an average of 27 rigs operating under term contracts over the four quarters ending June 30, 2026.

Completion Services

Second quarter Completion Services revenue totaled $719 million, with adjusted gross profit of $100 million. Our adjusted gross profit margin percentage was relatively steady compared to the first quarter. As expected, we did experience some white space from customer specific gaps in our calendar, but our team successfully filled most of the gaps on spot pads. Revenue was higher in natural gas basins compared to the first quarter.

Our fleet of Emerald™ 100% natural gas-powered assets, as well as our Tier IV dual fuel assets, remain fully utilized, and we expect this equipment to remain highly utilized through the remainder of 2025.

"We achieved key milestones on several technology initiatives, including automated hydraulic fracturing, as we build the foundation of our differentiated EOS Completions Platform™, which includes our Vertex™ frac automation, real-time cloud-based data feeds through our FleetStream™ digital solution, and our Lateral-Science SM machine learning application that leverages our drilling data to interpret rock properties," said Mr. Hendricks. "We successfully deployed our proprietary Vertex™ frac pump controls automation in both the Bakken and Appalachia during the quarter, and we are on track to complete fleet-wide deployment of this technology by the end of 2025. Through our PTEN Digital Performance Center, our Completion Services segment continues to make significant strides to uniquely help our customers better plan, execute and optimize completions designs based on real-time information. We expect strong returns on these investments and believe they have positioned our company as a long-term technology leader in the completions industry."

Drilling Products

Second quarter Drilling Products revenue totaled $88 million, with adjusted gross profit of $39 million.

Revenue in the United States was higher, sequentially, with the Drilling Products segment delivering another quarter of record U.S. revenue per U.S. industry rig. We continue to benefit from an increase in performance-based agreements with customers, which is gaining momentum as customers focus on technologies that can help lower well costs. We experienced growth in our U.S. business across several key regions.

International revenue was steady, sequentially, with gains in key markets, including in the Middle East. In Canada, which is just under 10% of segment revenue, we saw a typical seasonal decline from spring breakup in the second quarter, but we achieved a company record in Canada revenue per Canada industry rig as we grew our position in key Canadian markets.

The Drilling Products business continued to penetrate several offshore markets including the North Sea, Gulf of America, and Guyana.

Other

During the second quarter, Other revenue totaled $8 million, with adjusted gross profit totaling $2 million.

Outlook

Within the Drilling Services segment for the third quarter, we expect our average rig count will be in the mid-90s, with the sequential change driven by moderating activity in oil basins compared to the second quarter and steady activity in natural gas basins. We expect adjusted gross profit within the Drilling Services segment to be approximately $130 million.

In our Completion Services segment for the third quarter, we expect activity to be steady compared to the second quarter, with a relatively full calendar for our equipment. We expect third quarter Completion Services adjusted gross profit to remain steady with the second quarter.

In our Drilling Products segment for the third quarter, we expect adjusted gross profit will improve slightly, sequentially. The Canadian market should resume normal activity following the second quarter seasonal spring breakup, and we see slight gains in our International markets, partially offset by lower industry drilling activity in the United States. We expect this segment to realize a higher adjusted gross profit margin percentage in the second half of the year relative to the first half.

We expect Other adjusted gross profit in the third quarter to be roughly flat compared to the second quarter.

For the third quarter, we expect selling, general and administrative expense to decline slightly compared to the second quarter, and we expect depreciation, depletion, amortization, and impairment expense of approximately $230 million.

We expect capital expenditures, net of proceeds from the sale of assets, of less than $600 million in 2025. We are reducing our expectations for full year 2025 maintenance capital expenditures given slightly lower activity. We are still seeing strong demand, however, for new technology in both our drilling and completions businesses related to digital and automation services and for advancements in technology to more cost effectively drill and complete longer laterals at higher pressures. We expect to monetize technology-driven investments on a customer specific basis, and we expect to earn a strong long-term return on capital. As we approach our 2026 capital budget process, we have significant flexibility within our future capital spend and will reassess market dynamics later this year.

  1. Adjusted gross profit is defined as revenues less direct operating costs (excluding depreciation, depletion, amortization and impairment expense). See Non-GAAP Financial Measures below for a reconciliation of GAAP gross profit to adjusted gross profit by segment.

  2. Operational data relates to our contract drilling business. A rig is considered to be operating if it is earning revenue pursuant to a contract on a given day.

  3. Other includes our oilfield rentals business, prior to its divestiture in April 2025, and oil and natural gas working interests.

  1. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") is not defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus income tax expense (benefit), net interest expense, depreciation, depletion, amortization and impairment expense (including impairment of goodwill) and merger and integration expense. We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental disclosure because we believe it provides to both management and investors additional information with respect to the performance of our fundamental business activities and a comparison of the results of our operations from period to period and against our peers without regard to our financing methods or capital structure. We exclude the items listed above from net income (loss) in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to the GAAP measure of net income (loss). Our computations of Adjusted EBITDA may not be the same as similarly titled measures of other companies.

  1. We define adjusted free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, plus proceeds from disposal of assets, including insurance claims. We present adjusted free cash flow as a supplemental disclosure because we believe that it is an important liquidity measure and that it is useful to investors and management as a measure of the company's ability to generate cash flow, after reinvesting in the company, that could be available for financing cash flows, such as dividend payments, share repurchases and/or repurchases of long-term indebtedness. Our computations of adjusted free cash flow may not be the same as similarly titled measures of other companies. Adjusted free cash flow is not intended to represent our residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. Adjusted free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, cash flows from operations reported in accordance with GAAP.
